And now for something completely different....a book that doesn't have a murder, or indeed any crime to speak of, unless you count lying.
The Guests is a short read, with just four characters and no action per se. More psychological drama than thriller, the reader can feel the tension between the characters.
As to those characters, none of them are especially likeable, least of all Karin, who comes across as neurotic and pathologically jealous.
There's a nice little twist at the end that I didn't foresee. All in all, an enjoyable read.
